Some more detail shots on the new headlamps.. you will need your imagination a little

These headon shots give somewhat of a better idea on whats going on with the headlamps. Keep in my that IMO the top of the headlights isnt accurate because its being covered by that fake hood. But the bottom and side shape seems accurate! The grill is looking like its going to be idetical to that photoshop of the red Z4 we've seen previously.. which is really amazing IMO. Good job BMW for giving us something fresh with the Z4!

This is most accurate photoshop so far (better than photoshop with red Z4):



Z4 should loose most camouflage in less than one month , and in less than 3 months we will see official photos

I can't see the side repeaters (indicators we call them in the uk...) being on the mirrors, so I'm guessing they will be somewhere near the BMW roundel at the side.

Hahaha, we call 'em indicators in the US of A too man.

I think the orange tape is nothing more than a prototype thing, not a cover for some indicators. They did this with the e90 facelift.

Yep, it doesn't have indicators in mirrors. This Photoshop shows front lights, kidneys, hood, bumper, side lines... thats near to real one.

The first couple of pictures suggest the hood is rounded in the middle (where the BMW roundel might be... or is this just the camouflage skin?) ... but I wondered if the BMW badge might be "a feature", almost like the nose of the Merc SLK...?

So, the photos look a bit more like the current 3 series lights, and the photoshops look more like the current 5 series lights. The photos could be obscuring the top of the light with the hood and masking the 5 series 'light bar' indicators up top. So, I put it to the group: will these lights be closer to the current 3 or 5 series?

I'm thinking the 5.
